Call for Submissions Thread - all posts that are calls for submissions go here

In general calls for submission and announcements are to be posted on your blog and the forum is for questions and discussions.

OUR NEXT MAJOR WORK PARTY IS SATURDAY JULY 27th. Since we are a loose collective we will be working away on this project all summer in little enclaves that eventually comes together to take it to the printer the 1st week of August.

I write/edit a collaborative 1/4 size zine called refrigerator dedicated to art featuring poetry, especially found poetry, but really anything kind of surreal and whimsical. Email me at spacecadet_42(at)yaho(dot)com for more info

Dairy River is accepting submissions for Volume 11! I posted this in the call for submissions group a couple weeks ago, but I figured I'd cross-post it here for good measure. Drop us a line (dairyriver [at] gmail.com) -- we'd love to hear from / collaborate with you! Keep the following in mind:

(1) we especially like submissions relating to the built environment, music history, and critical theory;(2) submissions are accepted on a rolling basis;(3) we post accepted submissions online immediately -- sometimes even sooner; (4) we eventually compile all accepted submissions into a print zine;(5) we regularly consult with an entity known as "Silver Univnron" before making big decisions.

Sonorus is a new zine, created by three UK-based Harry Potter fans and feminists.

The aim of this zine is to see what feminists think of the Harry Potter series (including the books, the films, the cultural phenomenon and the fandom), for Harry Potter fans to look at the series in another way, and to put the spotlight on the numerous female characters in the world J.K. Rowling has created.

My creative vision for Turntable Operator has shifted. If the zine is going to continue, I would prefer that it focus on music reviews of all kinds of music (mostly physical releases) from the 1950s to the present, as well as band / musician discographies and record label interviews. In order to accomplish this, contributors are needed! So please spread the word and please consider sending me a music review or two or three (the more indie or obscure the better), or a discography or indie record company interview. My inner muse is telling me that Turntable Operator does not go forward without this evolution and without your help.

Electronic submissions: singinggrove@conknet.com

Physical submissions: 36 West Main Warner NH 03278.

If I get enough response, and have the ca$h for printing and postage, this project should see print in early 2014.
